Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 219 The mastermind behind the scenes

"Investigate who is secretly in contact with that Wang Yu."

"If they want to use our Cui family and climb to the top by stepping on our Cui family, they should see if they have the ability."

Upon returning to his residence in the capital, Cui Guan immediately instructed his trusted confidants to carry out the task.

Now that the Emperor is powerful, the Eighth Prince has fallen into the trap of treacherous people.

The Cui family could only willingly become tools in the emperor's hands.

Otherwise, the Yao family will suffer the same fate as the Cui family in the future.

Five days were not even needed; in just two days, Cui Guan had figured out about 80% of the intricacies involved.

There's no other reason than that the Eighth Prince's side is full of loopholes.

The person behind the scenes was perhaps too confident, or perhaps too narrow-minded.

Even with such a ruthless plan, the cleanup was done extremely hastily.

Based on Cui Guan's understanding of this unassuming person, he is probably not overly confident.

Rather, it was because they had too little access to power since childhood that they thought their schemes were foolproof, when in reality they were utterly vulnerable in the face of these old foxes.

It was also his negligence that he was completely unaware of such a major incident.

Most of the people around the Eighth Prince had been bribed, and he hadn't received any information.

It seems it's time for the Cui family to make some serious changes.

On the third day after Zhongli Che was imprisoned, Cui Guan and Cui Ze entered the palace again with the evidence they had found.

After reviewing the evidence presented by Nie Yueming, Leng Qing was furious and immediately ordered the imperial guards to bring the Seventh Prince and all those involved into the palace.

Zhongli Mo, who believed he had done everything perfectly, was having a long and fruitless discussion with his advisors at the prince's residence.

The next instant, a group of guards dressed in black broke through the prince's residence's defenses with unstoppable momentum and successfully entered the prince's council hall.

Before Zhong Liming could even react, he was pinned to the ground, his hands were tied, and all his belongings were taken from his person.

The officials and staff who were talking to him were also tied up with their hands behind their backs before they could react.

While everyone was still in a daze, Zhong Liming's study where he kept important secrets, as well as the entire prince's residence, were ransacked by black-clad guards like locusts.

It's unclear whether the Seventh Prince was overconfident in his scheme or simply too foolish to realize it.

The evidence was not destroyed but hidden in a secret compartment in the study, where it was discovered by the guards.

"Who are you?"

"Do you know that assassinating a member of the royal family is considered treason, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family?"

Finally, one of the staff members realized their predicament and stared with fury at what the black-clad guard had taken out of the study.

Unfortunately, his question was destined to go unanswered.

His mouth was gagged the moment he finished speaking.

The group could only communicate with each other through terrified glances.

Zhong Li Mo looked ashen-faced as he watched as the evidence he had believed to be the badges of honor for his rise to power was unearthed.

The staff in the mansion might not know the origins of these men in black, but Zhongli Mo and the officials in the court did.

These are the emperor's personal guards, trained by the emperor himself, and they obey only the emperor's orders.

At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds.

‘It’s over! ’

Their schemes and their grand undertaking have all failed.

An hour later, the group, along with the evidence, was brought before Leng Qingyi.

Zhong Li Mo looked at Cui Ze kneeling in the main hall and understood everything.

Looking at the emperor sitting on the throne, he no longer showed his usual caution and prudence; his eyes revealed jealousy and resentment.
